Bob Dylan Revisited

I feel like a would be literature student who has just discovered Shakespere. I have until recently had only a passing interest in Bob Dylan but I was impressed by the recent single "Things have Changed" which won an Oscar and I thought here is a man who has been writing songs for 40 years and can still come up with amazing lyrics and haunting music. So I bought a copy of "Blond on Blond" and have played little else since. Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands is a lyrical tour de force. Millions of fans have been living with this music for years - for me it is all to discover.

Bob Dylan Revisited

When Bob Dylan 'sings' Everybody Must Get Stoned in Rainy Day Women, is he advocating the mandatory smokeage of marajuana, or is he actually suggesting that people should be stoned to death.

I feel uncomfortable listening to this precarious dualism he has scribed and would like somebody to clear it up for me. Mr Dylan has gone down in my estimation havng heardf this song, it is neither big nor clever to advocate the smokeage of drugs or the abuse of a people with rocks and bricks and rubble and mortar.

At times like this it clouds my knowledge that Bob Dylan wrote such musical masterpieces as Hey Mr. Tambourine Man (or is this another drugs song??!??!) and Knocking on Heavens Door.

My favourite Dylan album is Greatest Hits but I don't like Rainy Day Women and was upset that it was selected as his greatest hits.
